| Chapter
14 |
| 1 |
Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst
of thee. |
| 2 | For I will
gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken,
and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go
forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from
the city. |
| 3 | Then shall
the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the
day of battle. |
| 4 | And his
feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before
Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst
thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great
valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it
toward the south. |
| 5 | And
ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains
shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the
earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come,
and all the saints with thee. |
| 6
| And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be
clear, nor dark: |
| 7 | But it
shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it
shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. |
| 8 | And it shall be in that day, that living
waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and
half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. |
| 9 | And the LORD shall be king
over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one. |
| 10 | All the land shall be
turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be
lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of
the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the
king's winepresses. |
| 11 |
And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but
Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. |
|
12 | And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all
the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away
while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their
holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. |
| 13 | And it shall come to pass in that day,
that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold
every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the
hand of his neighbour. |
| 14 |
And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen
round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great
abundance. |
| 15 | And so
shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass,
and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague. |
| 16 | And it shall come to pass,
that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem
shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and
to keep the feast of tabernacles. |
|
17 | And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families
of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon
them shall be no rain. |
| 18 |
And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;
there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come
not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. |
| 19 | This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the
punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of
tabernacles. |
| 20 | In that
day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and
the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. |
| 21 | Yea, every pot in Jerusalem
and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that
sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day
there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts. |
